Damn man I'm lost again,
Nowhere in sight's a friend,
And I can't seem to figure out just where I went wrong,

Came from what seemed like nowhere,
And it said to me,

Terrorized by pirates it seems,
Forced to live enslaved and abandon their dreams,

Pre-Verse 3 Interlude: Do Not Play Here. Come In When Verse 3 Begins.
Verse 3:
So we set out for a battlefield,
They gave me all their best weapons to wield,
And we fought through legion after legion,

One by one their strongholds fell,
I've gotta say we were doing quite well,
Then it was at that moment that we looked up and saw it,

Pre-Chorus 3: Clean Guitar
A dreadnought class ship in the sky,
Seemed like we all just might die,
Then like a lazerbeam we saw him,
E|--3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----5--
B|--3-----5-----3-----5-----3-----5-----4-----6--
G|--3-----5-----3-----5-----3-----5-----3-----5--
D|--5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----3--
A|--5-----3-----5-----3-----5-----3-----6-----3--
E|--3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3--
It was a little scout,
The little guy had figured it out,
He saw that ship had a weakness,
E|--3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----5--
B|--3-----5-----3-----5-----3-----5-----4-----6--
G|--3-----5-----3-----5-----3-----5-----3-----5--
D|--5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----3--
A|--5-----3-----5-----3-----5-----3-----6-----3--
E|--3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3--
So there he was all flying around,
Next thing it's shields were down,
And on that day we celebrated and they tried to make me their king,
E|--3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----5--
B|--3-----5-----3-----5-----3-----5-----4-----6--
G|--3-----5-----3-----5-----3-----5-----3-----5--
D|--5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----3--
A|--5-----3-----5-----3-----5-----3-----6-----3--
E|--3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3--
So much had happened so fast,
But we knew this victory would last,
At least I hope so,
